• the mode of response and scaling of the voltmeters;
• the current reading;
• the power reading;
• total losses measured;
• Total losses corrected to 75°C winding temperature
• the frequency reading ;
• the instrument constants and corrections;
• corrections made to power and current results, due to non-sinusoidal wave forms of
voltage and current;

2. Core assembly dielectric and earthing continuity tests.
The insulation of the magnetic circuit and between the magnetic circuit and the core
clamping structure, including core-bolts, bands and / or buckles shall withstand the
application of a test voltage of either 2 kV ac or 3 kV dc for 60 seconds.
The insulation of core to tank, core to yoke clamp (frame) and yoke clamp (frame) to
tank shall be able to withstand a voltage of 2 kV (rms) for 1 minute. Insulation resistance
shall be minimum 2 GΩ for all cases mentioned above.
The continuity of the single-point earthing shall be verified before despatch. The results
of the works tests shall be recorded on the test certificate, and shall include the resistance
